teach programming in a lecture hall, it is also difficult for students to learn in thisenvironment since programing requires hands-on (trial and error) learning that doesn’t occur alecture setting. Second, the higher level architectural features of microprocessors can beoverlooked if too much effort is made to accomplish specific tasks in the laboratory setting.ImplementationOne possible approach to address the shortcomings of these classes would be to “flip” theclassroom by having the lecture material presented online, allowing students to spend more timein the laboratory experimenting with microcontrollers. This approach can be too software heavyin content and the students might have a tendency to take on a “hacker” approach by looking upcode

Virtual help sessions on eCampus using BlackboardCollaborate Ultra were created to help students learn the material. Based on the results in thetwo-year period, it will be determined how much of the lectures will be flipped. Challenges andlessons learned during the first semester are discussed, these include: What if students do notspend time prepare for the flipped class? What if it takes longer time to cover the materials usingthe flipped classroom approach? Is there an impact on the faculty teaching load or the actual timethey spend in teaching the course

To do this, the Soil Mechanics classincorporated the Minka site soil into the laboratory portion of the class. A formative approachwas taken to the individual labs that would all come together to produce a summative project of ageotechnical report of the Minka site.For the first lab and before ground was broken at the Minka sites by the contractor, studentscollected soil samples at various depths to determine the

In this work, the THK paradigm is expanded with the design of a low-cost kit formechatronics students with emphasis on teaching control system theory. The kit uses MBD andreadily available electronics to create an embedded controller and HIL tester for an invertedpendulum. The controller was tested with an inverted pendulum and the HIL tester, and bothresults were tested against software simulation. The initial pendulum results varied somewhatmore than expected in cart motion, although those results were improved somewhat byintroducing a

Our study shows thatcommunities of practice, such as engineering research groups, are valuable sites for graduate andundergraduate students to learn crucial research skills. In addition, these five interactionstrategies are relatively stable, even across different research groups, disciplines, demographics,and levels of education. These strategies help facilitate the learning and teaching process withineach undergraduate and graduate pair. We found that undergraduate and
